Cultural Education Provided to Renal Staff Caring for First Nations People in Australia and Similarly Colonized Countries: A Scoping Review
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Limited research exists on cultural education for renal staff caring for First Nations People. More studies are needed to evaluate effectiveness and ensure co-design with Indigenous communities for better kidney care.
Area Of Science
- Indigenous Health
- Renal Care
- Cultural Competency Education
Background
- First Nations People receive kidney care from staff with unknown levels of cultural education.
- The content and co-design of existing cultural education for renal staff are not well understood.
Purpose Of The Study
- To conduct a scoping review of cultural education for clinical and non-clinical renal staff caring for First Nations People.
- To examine education in Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, Canada, and North America.
Main Methods
- Systematic search using JBI methodology for scoping reviews.
- Searched 11 databases for English-language studies from January 1992 to September 2024.
Main Results
- Nineteen papers identified barriers and effective cultural education in renal settings; 16 were from Australia.
- Only three studies included both cultural education and evaluation.
- Cultural safety emerged as a key approach with positive effects for patients and staff.
Conclusions
- Published literature on renal-specific cultural education for staff working with First Nations People is limited.
- The involvement of First Nations People in education and the evaluation of its effectiveness are not evident.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...
Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...
Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...
